By Nanasjoy

Ingredients

• 2 cups butter, softened
• 1-3/4 cups icing sugar, divided
• 3-1/2 cups flour
• 1/2 cup corn starch
• 1 pkg. (170 g) Baker's Premium 70% Cacao Dark Chocolate, coarsely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350°F.

Beat butter and 1 cup sugar in large bowl with mixer until light and fluffy. Add flour and corn starch; mix well. Stir in chocolate.

Roll dough into 60 (1-inch) balls; place, 3 inches apart, on baking sheets. Flatten slightly with bottom of glass.

Bake 13 min. or until centres are set and tops are lightly browned; cool on baking sheets 5 min. Add warm cookies, 1 at a time, to remaining sugar; turn to evenly coat both sides of each. Cool completely on wire racks.
